I would like to also contribute on the contentious Clause 44(a). This Bill was committed to the Committee and there was public participation. When you look at the Report, you can see that those who participated raised concerns regarding words like ‘complementary’ and many other words which they said are not clear and should be defined. What was the purpose of public participation if we will ignore their contributions? We need to take the views of the public as per the Constitution. I think the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI) did a good job. They made very crucial comments, which we must take into account as we move forward, to prepare a law that is good for this country and will help us to conduct a free and fair election. I do not support."}
